"This girl, her face is about to split apart from laughing." Fudong looked at Xiaochun's back and scolded with a smile.

Jiang Xue also smiled and shook her head.

"Fudong, come with me after lunch to visit my cousin. She must be very worried about my uncle's condition."

Ever since his uncle went to the border, Lu Linyi sent people to Prince Gong's Mansion every few days to inquire about the latest situation of Marquis Zhenbei.

She did not tell Lu Linyi about the riots, but Lu Linyi got the news from somewhere and was now extremely anxious. Fortunately, she was free today, so she went to accompany her and reassure her.

Jiang Xue stepped into the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. As soon as she entered the door, in addition to Lu Linyi, the tall figure of Nan Jingxing also came into her sight.

Why is he here?

Jiang Xue approached with doubts in her mind: "Cousin, General Nan."

He greeted the two of them softly as a greeting.

"Jiang Xue, you're here." Seeing Jiang Xue, Lu Linyi immediately stepped forward and held her hand. She was extremely anxious about her father's news. She had finally waited for Jiang Xue to come to her house, so naturally she had to seize the time to ask her.

"Don't worry, cousin. Uncle's condition is all here. Please take a look."

She handed Lu Linyi a copy of the message she had written herself, which eased her anxiety a little.

Then she turned to Nan Jingxing, who had a complicated expression.

"Why is General Nan in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?"

Nan Jingxing looked around the Marquis' Mansion and said to Jiang Xue meaningfully, "Nan was ordered by the emperor to bring someone back to the capital, but something unexpected happened on the way and I lost the noble man. During the search, Nan saw him enter the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion, so I chased him to see."

"Lost a distinguished person?" Jiang Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, sensing a hint of unusual mystery. What kind of distinguished person actually required Young General Nan to personally lead the Yulin Army to pick him up?

The Yulin Army is the elite force of Yujing City and the most trusted guard of the emperor. If it is not a very important person, Emperor Beiling will never mobilize the Yulin Army easily.

It can be seen that the status of this nobleman is extraordinary.

"Yes, the emperor specifically ordered that this person must be brought back to the palace safely, and there must be no mistakes. Nan was just about to discuss with Miss Gu and request a search of the mansion to find the person, but Miss Gu disagreed. Nan was also not in a position to act on his own, so he could only wait here until the noble showed up himself."

Nan Jingxing explained.

So that's how it is. No wonder the Nan Jing Guild was able to enter the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion openly.

After understanding the whole story, Jiang Xue turned her head to look at Lu Linyi. She thought that her cousin was unwilling to let Young General Nan search the Marquis' Mansion and wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time with Young General Nan.

A woman who falls in love always has these delicate thoughts, Jiang Xue sighed in her heart, thinking back to the time when Wu Meifeng was taken as the imperial concubine by Jun Li, she also used abdominal pain as an excuse to pester Jun Li to spend the night, just to get him to spend more time with her.

"Cousin, since General Nan is bringing people into the palace on the orders of the emperor, time is running out. If this noble person is really hiding in the mansion, in Jiang Xue's opinion, it would be better to let the general search it." Jiang Xue advised.

Nan Jingxing gave her a grateful look.

Lu Linyi remained silent, and his hand holding the letter tightened unconsciously.

She hesitated and didn't nod.

Hey.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Xue sighed softly.

She leaned close to Lu Linyi's ear and whispered in a low voice: "The emperor has ordered that General Nan cannot delay. Cousin, you will have plenty of opportunities to see him in the future."

These words made Lu Linyi's fingers relax a little.

She looked into Jiang Xue's eyes, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.

"General Nan, please start, but please be careful with your men and don't mess up the things in the mansion."

She knew that some soldiers might not pay much attention during the search, so she gave a special reminder.

Nan Jingxing nodded in understanding and gave the order: "Just find people, and do not damage any grass or tree in the mansion. Violators will be punished by military law!"

"Yes!" Teams of Yulin soldiers were divided into three groups and began to search one by one.

About half an hour later, all the soldiers withdrew, but no one was found.

When the last team returned, Nan Jingxing's expression was solemn.

Not found!

He felt heavy-hearted, as he had clearly seen the man enter the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

But now there is no sign of anyone, and the time for an audience with the emperor is approaching. What should I do?

While Nan Jingxing was in trouble, Jiang Xue kept staring at the last group of returning soldiers.

Her eyes were fixed on the soldier at the end of the team, who had his head lowered and whose face could not be seen clearly.

The soldier exuded an unusual fragrance. Although it was very faint, Jiang Xue's keen sense of smell still caught it.

I lowered my head and looked at his slender and well-maintained hands. They looked so delicate and smooth, like the hands of someone who had been trained in the military camp for a long time.

With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Jiang Xue stopped in front of the soldier with a unique temperament and looked up at him: "General Nan, I think you have found your benefactor."

Seeing this, Nan Jingxing quickly walked up to the man.

When he saw the man's face clearly, he immediately bowed his head respectfully: "Your Highness Prince Huan!"

"Greetings to His Majesty Prince Huan!"

The other soldiers followed Nan Jingxing and knelt down, saluting King Huan.

"What a pity! I had already hidden it from General Nan, but I didn't expect that I would fail at the last moment."

A chilling voice came out slowly from the man in front of him. The cold tone made people shiver.

This person is definitely not a good person.

This was Jiang Xue's first impression of him.

The man raised his head, his pair of light brown eyes like poisonous snakes, with pupils in a vertical line, staring straight at Jiang Xue.

These eyes are really chilling.

"Jiang Xue, his eyes..."

When Lu Linyi saw Xiao Huan's eyes, he was so frightened that his hair stood on end.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a little different from ordinary people."

Patting the back of her hand gently, Jiang Xue comforted her gently.

"What's your name?"

Xiao Huan looked at her, slightly surprised. As long as he could remember, almost everyone had either a fearful expression or a disgusted look on their faces when they saw his unique eyes.

This was the first time he had met a woman like this who could remain calm and comfort others calmly.

"Before asking someone's name, shouldn't you introduce yourself first as a sign of basic courtesy?" Jiang Xue said.

A strange smile appeared on Xiao Huan's face, which, coupled with his vertical pupils, looked particularly terrifying.

This woman is quite interesting, Xiao Huan secretly commented in his heart.

"My surname is Xiao, my given name is Heng, my courtesy name is Hui, and I am the seventh prince of Beiling. I was personally named King Huan by Xiao Yan." Xiao Huan said.

He lowered his head and looked at Jiang Xue, his eyes full of amusement.

Apart from Xiao Zhan, he was the only one who addressed Emperor Bei Ling by his name.

But Xiao Zhan would not behave so rudely in front of others, and this man seemed to not care what others thought of him.
